The ACLU of Kentucky, the Kentucky Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, and Witness to Innocence will host an event with death row exoneree Kirk Bloodsworth February 3 at Hopkinsville Community College-Ft. Campbell Campus.
A honorably discharged former Marine, Kirk Bloodsworth is the first person in the United States exonerated from death row by DNA testing. In 1984 he was arrested for the rape and murder of nine-year-old girl. He was sentenced to death in Maryland in 1985.
Once a year, the President delivers the State of the Union address, a speech meant to highlight important national issues from the past year and suggest priorities for the coming year. It's a broadcast from one to many. But what if, once a year, we could all speak and listen to each other?
You Voted. Now What? Talk to your elected representatives. Hold them accountable. Tell them what matters to you. Democracy thrives when the voices of ordinary citizens are listened to and valued.
